Selling on new auction sites
 

Does anyone know about selling on sites like amazon, overstock, ebid, ubid or Ioffer? How are they with consumer electronics? I know none of these gets traffic like ebay but one of these sites must do pretty wll with consumer electronics products??

Amazon is probably the best out of what you listed, but from the last I heard they're not very seller friendly... Or so it seemed.

Amazon gets lots of traffic but their fees are highhhh! I listed 5 products on Amazon 1 day and within 2 hours they were all sold, but I didnt know of their crazy fees. Their seller fees is about $25 on the hundred. So i promptly refunded the buyers through Amazon

HI- I have seller accounts on Overstock.com, Ioffer.com, and Amazon.com-
Amazon is good is you sell books or other non threatening items.
Traffic not as high as ebay.
They do not push the feedback issue, as a matter of fact less than 10 % leave feedback of any kind.
Ioffer- this is where you put a price and they send you offers-- no fee till it sells
Overstock.com, pretty good if you have bulk items/lots, they also integrate with ccnow.
As for Amazon fees- maybe there a sliding scale, based on the category?
I have sold radar detectors, stationery, and wrist watches, normally on a $50 sale, they take $3-$4- and NO LISTING fees.. ( Ive been on amazon for 3 years now)

DVD listing fees on Amazon is high

Amazon Fees
 

I can vouch for Amazon being a fee hog. I just recently started selling on there (less than one month). My item ranges from $275 - $325 and I pay approx. $45 to Amazon for each one sold! I also have to eat some of the shipping fee because the credit they give is 3.99 but priority shipping (flat rate box) is approx. $8.50. They want you to ship super fast so I have to use priority service!

I like it better than EBay actually. At least I know they won't f*#@ with my money like CrookedBay!
